Thursday morning
Yup, yesterday I went to the office, for the fourth time in two weeks. Almost started feeling normal being at the office again, except nobody else in my workgroup has returned yet, so I'm still pretty much by myself there. Next week they'll show up.
And Metro returned to normal also, LOL, in terms of "track problems" on the Red Line, making me late to the office and then even later getting home -- my 80-minute commute home. Ugh. Back to normal.
But, I'd left work 2 hours early, still wary of my recent back pain, using sick leave, although my back was fine yesterday and feels fine so far today. I'll get up and go running in a bit.
Last night I didn't cook, even though I've got piles of Blue Apron meals in the fridge and more come today, because I was feeling fat. All I had was some soup and crackers. Having to wear a belt in public is a strong motivator for losing weight. Even though objectively I'm at the same belt loop as I was 26 months ago.
And then I attended the meditation class again!!!! Two weeks in a row!!! But I won't be able to do it next week because ... Ben is coming over next Wednesday!!!
I'm expecting K to come back to the house today, although perhaps that's tentative given what else is going on with him, his job, and the condo ... and stay here until Monday morning. Then I'm going to the office next week on Monday and Tuesday, then Ben on Wednesday, then K back here next Thursday through Saturday when I take him to the airport, so I won't have a full day to myself until two Sundays from now, but at least I'll be spending time with some of my favorite people, and then seeing some of my workgroup in person for the first time in 26 months ...
I'm on the verge of my most extroverted period, not counting being cooped up with T, in a long time.
Wish me luck LOL.
